The Harvard Black Law Students Association (HBLSA) was founded in 1967. Today HBLSA is the largest chapter in the National Black Law Students Association. With well over 100 members, HBLSA is truly reflective of the diversity that exists within the black community of Harvard Law School .
Many of our programs are not restricted to BLSA members, for instance the Harvard BLSA 1L Career Fair and 2L /3L Career Fair are open to the law school community. The Harvard BLSA Spring Conference is also open to the community at large. BLSA also co-sponsors a number of events with other student groups; in reaching out to other campus organizations and students at HLS in general, BLSA members contribute to fostering and sustaining a welcoming sense of community at the law school.
